The Adventures of Tintin: Secret of the Unicorn
Date	Location
After buying a replica model ship at a flea market, Tintin (Bell) is embroiled in a world of subterfuge. Not since Indy's third outing has Spielberg felt so fresh and unshackled; it feels like a hark back to the heyday of 1980s adventure cinema. View full details

An American Tail
Date	Location
In the late 19th century, the Mousekewitz family makes its way from trouble-torn Russia to a new life in America, but they find the streets of New York are not all paved with gold. A wealth of background detail displays Bluth's admirably painstaking approach to animation, but the foreground narrative, often agreeably perilous, does occasionally reek of sentimentality.

Azur and Asmar: The Princes' Quest
Date	Location
Childhood buddies Azur and Asmar become rivals and enemies in a medieval Maghreb. With the action taking place in North African Islamic architecture and over-populated bazaars, the colourful palatte of the animation and 'Arabian Nights'-style storyline is a welcome throwback to the days before Pixar tore up the rulebook. A compassionate and mature film based on classic legends rather than popular culture. View full details
30 Jun 11.30am	Glasgow Film Theatre, Glasgow

Fantastic Mr Fox
Date	Location
Anderson's inspired choice of stop-motion animation pays off in this beautiful and idiosyncratic adaptation of the well-loved children's tale.

Monsters, Inc.
Date	Location
This CGI animation from Toy Story makers Pixar is set largely in Monstropolis, a city inhabited by the foulest of beasts. The monsters power their city by sending 'scarers' through doors which teleport them into children's rooms. Once there, they pull faces at the kids, producing shrieks of terror, which are bottled back in Monstropolis and used as a source of energy. It's a neat idea, but what really lifts the film is the sense of fun that pervades the whole movie. Monsters, Inc runs as… View full details

We Bought a Zoo
Date	Location
The clue is in the title: recently widowed father-of-two Benjamin (Damon) quits his job and sets about saving a dilapidated zoo. The sharp humour and unique characterisation that characterised Crowe's best work seems to have been vetoed; great actors are wasted in empty roles and the result is broad, sentimental and dishearteningly average.
